Quick it's 7 in the morning answer: IE needs special attention. It will
choke on new elements unless you create it in Javascript first, e.g.
document.createElement('nav'). HTML5
shim<http://code.google.com/p/html5shim/> takes
care of that. All the other modern browsers (including earlier versions of
them) are fine with styling arbitrary elements
